Newport (II): Sailing Adirondack II


After a relaxing morning at Brenton Point Park, we headed to Bowen's Wharf for our sailing journey. First thing first, grabbing a lunch.



We boarded on Adirondack II in the early afternoon. The Adirondack II is an elegant, 80-foot, turn-of-the-century-style pilot schooner. She has traditional appearance but modern design and construction for unparalleled speed, safety and comfort [1]. She is a dream schooner to operate.

The weather in early September was more enjoyable than early May, when we sailed in the same schooner. I took my time to eat my lunch and desert, and played with Baba (zhong wen), while I let beautiful old house in the sea fleet by me. I was sure I might have overlooked other beautiful scenes.

Near the end of sailing journey, Captain Issac made the dream come true for the kids, operating the Schooner. Lex gege already wouldn't let his second dream slip away. He knew this is the same captain Issac as last time, however, captain Issac didn't recognize this is the same Lex.
